Charge $2 bucks a snag on game day and ensure people come to the Social Club before the game at the G. Will ensure club uses the Superstore and the Social Club correctly. Have a 10:30 start time that way game finishes at 1 and members can make use of Punt Rd and MCG facilities on match day. Spending $$$ at Punt Rd and at the SUperstore and at the Social Club and the RFC collects the profits. No other club in the AFL has the opportunity to manipulate their seconds and firsts in such a way. BTW Golden Rule we let noone else play on Punt Rd unless they are the away side on an RFC match day.

All means $$$$ for the RFC and the upkeep of such an important developmental club venture.

Exactly!

People would go to Punt Road and pour pregame pee into the RFC instead of down the drain.We have the best located ground and we should use that advantage!

Agree with everything you've suggested Tucker

But....

The VFL will want some "stand alone" games by that I mean games that are not curtain raisers. It will likely be part of the license conditions. Like it or not there will be conditions

Remembering that Geelong do not play all their home games as curtain raisers so you would think the same will apply.

This will create a problem with games at Punt Road as you wouldn't want a game being played while other games are going on at the MCG (non RFC games I mean).

As I said earlier a lot of planning is needed and 12 months give us the chance to get everything right

Totally understand WP but as a club we need to list our demands and take it from there. Aim higher than high and see how we go. Plan this inside the board room and then meet with the VFL and take it from there. I'm sure for the big games against Ess/ Carl/ Coll we can come up with something. Add the Hawks and Cats and that's not too bad a money maker for the club.

A venture like this will benefit our AFL fixture as the club can also come to terms with the AFL and ensure we can use the VFL use of Punt Rd for the seconds and the MCG for our home games also by linking the two venues for us. Furthermore home games against lesser ranked AFL clubs like the interstaters can be the VFL games to played on the suburban grounds.

Planned correctly the potential is endless and having big 2nd games at Punt Rd will ensure that other big Victorian clubs spend $$$$ at Punt Rd for the reserves also. Nice way to make money off the scabs off the field and by then hopefully we can pants them on the G a few hours later. All adds up to a win win situation for the Tiggers.
